10/27 - Today is technically day 28 since germination. I would normally wait three more days before doing this update, but enough has changed, I figured it warranted documenting it early. Today I did a solution change to half-strength week 3 guidelines per the Dyna-Gro feed schedule from their website. This gave me a ppm of 740 total, including 170 ppm tap (measured using Hanna Primo .5 conversion). This gives me 570ppm (1.14ec) of nutrients. The solution was changed about four hours prior to their nap time (of four hours in length). Shortly after the lights came back on I noticed this discoloration on her roots (as shown above in picture and video). Both ladies in the video were given the exact same solution at the same time and now show noticeably different ppms (Sour Diesel Auto - 770ppm; Amnesia XXL Auto - 720ppm). I'm not sure why they are exhibiting different reactions to the same solution. She doesn't seem to be showing any other negative effects at this point. Root growth is phenomenal and her vegetation has only accelerated since being topped. Just slightly concerned about what to do with the root issue. I have thought about adding Botanicare Hydroguard since the smaller buckets will run slightly warmer in temp. Once they start drinking more, I will bump them up to 5 gallon buckets, but that's not needed at this time. Any advice, questions, or observations are very welcome. This is my first DWC run and first run with Dyna-Gro. Edit: 10/29 - Added 2ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard as a precaution regarding her potential root issue. Res temps are mid-seventies, so I'd say it's a safe move and some relatively cheap insurance. Edit: 10/31 - PPMs kept increasing up close to 800 from the original 740. Added pH'd water to dilute right close to 700ppm. Would have diluted more, but that was touching the bottom of the net pot. Removed two main fan leaves that were actively shading new growth nodes. Added second Mars Hydro SP150 and raised both to 18" above canopy.

Yo @Spazmagi - I'm growing one of these on my diary too, my advice would be too not over water her and she doesnt like heavy nutes. Other strains that might be taking the quantities for the week theh are on, this strain seems too hold back by a couple of weeks so just dial down the feeds for her. Dont worry too much if she is small around week 4 or 5, I thought mine would stay around 30 or 40cm and has now stretched as high as the rest of the canopy which is pushing 65 to 70 cms. Enjoy her, she will produce great flowers - @Dinafemseeds Mark from Dinafem is great and always on hand if you need any advice! If you need any help give me a shout bro!

Your tomato cage scrOG hack looks intriguing! I wish I saw this sooner - I have containment issues in my buckets 😉 All the best with the rest of your grow 👍

@stunflower, They were a very spontaneous solution to a problem. I further modified them to shorten their canopy distance to 6" instead of 11", but otherwise I am very happy with how they turned out. Now I just feel like I need MORE TENT!!!

@skoondawg, She has only just started showing pistils at her bud sites. I was trying to show it with the up-close picture of the tops, but it's hard to see anything other than her foliage! One thing I can say for sure is that I LOVE DWC!

Hey man, will be sitting on this one if you dont mind :P Im also growing a Dinafem Sour Diesel, one of my favourite strains. Youre 3 weeks ahead of me id say, She looks healthy, youre doing a good job so far - i cant tell you much about the roots, ive never grown DWC, only coco and soil. Im also considering topping her to keep her more squat as i have height concerns. She looks like she responded well to the topping, i bet shes gonna branch out like crazy in a week or so Good luck :) SD

@skoondawg, I grew the Dinafem Sour Diesel Auto on a previous run and was seriously impressed with it. I had topped her then, too, but that was a soil grow. I went ahead and ordered some Botanicare Hydroguard which can only help with the root issue. I'll be keeping an eye on her leaves for signs of stress, but so far, so good.

In case anyone was wondering, the PPM values are including tap water (175ppm).

Congrats on the harvest bro :) Looks good, id say about 90 grams too. I would be well chuffed with that.

@skoondawg, Thanks. It's been a pleasure growing this lady. I also enjoyed the experience of DWC and will probably never go back to soil, indoors at least.

@Mr_Weeds_Autos, Thank you! This is my first time doing DWC and she has treated me quite well so far. I have grown this strain previously in living soil and it was just amazing, but I wanted more yield, so I thought I'd give DWC a shot.

Looking lush, my friend. Your scrOG hack seems to be working out great.

@stunflower, Thanks for checking out the grow. It seems to work okay, but I look forward to increasing my space so I can just 2'x2' each one. I can find plastic screens in that size that would be perfect, but none that are 18"x18" and I don't want to pay that cost and then just cut them up. The metal fence that I'm using currently doesn't have quite the right size "holes". I think 3-4" square would be perfect (these are 2"x3" rectangles). This makes some of the adjusting of the plant difficult in some directions due to the short distance between "holes". This seems to work, but I think the height has to be dialed in. I have some u-type bolts that I'm going to use to allow an "adjustable" height variable. Could even use it to change height during the grow, if needed. Thanks again for your support.
